This destination is for the Causely Mediator Service, so you will need to have a Causely instance running and accessible from the k8s cluster running Odigos.

### Configuring Destination Fields

<Accordion title="Supported Signals:">

</Accordion>

- **CAUSELY_URL** `string` : Endpoint. The endpoint URL is the combined `<protocol>://<hostname>:<port>` to access your Causely Mediator service. Protocol should be `http`; using `https` or omitting it will automatically be converted to `http`. Hostname should typically follow the format: `mediator.<namespace>`. Namespace is the k8s namespace where the Causely Mediator service is deployed. Port is optional and defaults to the default OTLP gRPC port `4317`
  - This field is required
  - Example: `http://mediator.causely:4317`

### Adding Destination to Odigos

There are two primary methods for configuring destinations in Odigos:

##### **Using the UI**

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Use the [Odigos CLI](https://docs.odigos.io/cli/odigos_ui) to access the UI
    ```bash
    odigos ui
    ```
  </Step>
  <Step>
    Click on `Add Destination`, select `Causely` and follow the on-screen instructions
  </Step>
</Steps>

##### **Using Kubernetes manifests**

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Save the YAML below to a file (e.g. `causely.yaml`)
    ```yaml
    apiVersion: odigos.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Destination
    metadata:
      name: causely-example
      namespace: odigos-system
    spec:
      data:
        CAUSELY_URL: <Endpoint>
      destinationName: causely
      signals:
      - TRACES
      - METRICS
      type: causely
    ```
  </Step>
  <Step>
    Apply the YAML using `kubectl`
    ```bash
    kubectl apply -f causely.yaml
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>
